  1. If you do have a draw on the batteries, the regulator is the most common cause of that.
  2. Right, you have to make sure after soda blasting you wash it down good--just plain water does the job. If you don't, then the paint will peel.
  3. Geoff is right-when I used to work on Cummins, the 855s were over 3,000 lbs.
  4. That B model looks to have a Clariben fiberglass tilt nose, you don't see many of those on this side of the pond.
  5. Here's his obituary. https://www.sandhfuneralservice.com/obituary/Mike-Harbison
  6. We watched High Ballin last night (it's on Tubi right now). Not a real good movie but lots of old trucks so that part was fun. I'd like to know what motor was in the Iron Duke KW, it had a different sound (maybe just an unusual exhaust system). Of course, lots of Jerry Reed music so that part was great. It was filmed in Canada so lots of spread tandems and snow...one mistake is that they would show one scene with lots of snow on the ground, then in the next it was sunny and green.
  7. So if you disconnect the inlet line from the lift pump, do you get fuel there? That would tell you if the problem is in the lift pump or before it.
  8. I can honestly say I've never seen batteries like those before. The one on the left, that's wild how the fill ports are angled and caps are tied together.
  9. No gold watch?
  10. They really need mudflaps on that road!!
  11. The rear wheels on that first Valueliner look unusual...do you know what type they are?
  12. Yeah, I've seen several trucks that had U-bolted fifth wheels where they welded blocks on the frame rails to keep them from shifting back and forth.
  13. That's a steel braid line, very common. I get mine from hosewarehouse.com , they sell by the foot and fittings too. A good choice is Aeroquip FC350; the number after the dash is ID in sixteenths of an inch (-8 is 1/2", etc.). You can go to youtube for videos on how to assemble (outer sleeve is LH thread, hose ends need to be cleaned up).
  14. I had mine rebuilt at Purrformance Diesel in Fredericktown Ohio, they did a great job on it. I believe Complete Diesel in Findlay does pump work as well. You could probably ship yours to them.
  15. What weight oil do Mack transmissions take? My Brockway has a Roadranger and I think it takes 50w, does that sound right?
  16. I worked at Cat in the 80s and 90s, guys who had the old 3406 motors loved them. The later models and E models had a lot of trouble with liner seals and leaking head gaskets so they weren't so well liked.
  17. In WV, asking $75k. It has a 3406 in it, that sounds like a tight fit for a B model. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/572763521898782/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking={"qid"%3A"-1425524864764569425"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"7886796598117258350"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"7886796598117258350"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A7886796598117258350%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A3%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A7166660313873773304%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.0016637013793012%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A4032%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"8025655377529379\"%3A3528%2C\"8194157327272465\"%3A3547%2C\"8524020040966163\"%3A805%2C\"27253829680883071\"%3A3070%2C\"8339961622722310\"%3A3001%2C\"8601459886550160\"%3A3070}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"%2C"lightning_feed_qid"%3A"-1425525414400347760"%2C"lightning_feed_ranking_signature"%3A"15160377397452453"}
  18. I'm very happy now, I have a legal title for this truck! After 2 years of phone calls, letters, emails, and waiting. The owner died in 2021 and his heirs didn't want to mess with the truck (he left a lot of vehicles and stuff to sell or dispose of). They had their hands full and didn't want to go through the hassle of getting the probate court to issue a new title. In Ohio you can apply for a court-ordered title; basically a judge looks at your evidence and if they feel you are the rightful owner, they give you a clear title.
  19. I didn't purchase from him. He sent me some parts lists about 6 years ago, but I ended up reusing my vent seals.
  20. Pat Walsh Restorations (you can google their website) used to sell reproduction vent seals, but you'd have to check with them. You may need to call your banker first.
  21. He looks like he's pretty serious about getting that done. In my opinion '68 and '69 Chargers had the best body style of any muscle car ever built.
  22. 1926...you don't see many tank trailers that old!! In fact, not many of any kind of trailer.
  23. I don't know if this diagram looks like your Maxitorque, but as you can see there's a magnetic plug (some have them on both sides) and a filler plug. Also you can go to the link below for a maintenance manual for the TRL1076: https://www.progearandtransmission.com/Mack-Maxitorque-Transmission-TRL1076-Manual.pdf
  24. The only time I ever saw a problem with tube type, the truck sat for years and the inside rim got almost rusted through. When the guy started loosening the nuts the rest of the rim let go and sent shrapnel everywhere.
  25. Since we have global warming that Al Gore invented, tires get aged quicker in the hot sun.
